Jason Mamoa cast as Lobo for the upcoming Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow film.

Probably fits that role better than Aquaman.... But by now I am too used to him as Aquaman. Should have got someone else.

First Aquaman movie is still one of the finest superhero movies of the modern era.

Also in general, still not a fan of them adapting that Supergirl story... It wasn't great. Lot better things they could have used.

You put mamoa under enough makeup to be a visually accurate Lobo and it will be easy to forget its Mamoa altogether

Catching up on my DC Comics.....

Finally got through and read Dark Crisis (on Infinite Earths). The story was largely "naff"... some good ideas here and there, a few cool moments, but overall pretty messy.... Also can I say how much I hate a big event ending with an epilogue teasing the next big event? Back in my day, sure, events could tease upcoming new series or stories... but they would be mostly a complete story and wouldn't be already trying to sell you on the next crossover.

Taking a break to go read more old comics again....

Big event comics these days often feel like they’re more advertising copy for the next marketing push than a self contained story, absolutely feel you on that. I liked the sound of Dark Crisis but it definitely got messy fast. Sometimes going back to comics I read years ago and how complete the storytelling used to feel, sounds like the right move.

Been reading 1999-2000 era Superman comics... Lex Luthor winning the presidency of the United States seemed like a "radical idea" at the time....

Yeah. By 2011 we would have a US president drone striking US children in Yemen. Course in 02 we may not have had a war criminal but we certainly had a warmonger manufacturing known lies to steal resources from underdeveloped nations that would cost millions of lives over the course of multiple decades so potatoe patahtoe i guess.


But atleast they werent bald.. or orange.

"My Adventures with Green Lantern" animated series announced... in the same universe as My Adventures with Superman.

Going to start high school student Jessica Cruz.

Hope it leads to Cruz getting more respect/attention in the comics again. The Jessica Cruz/Simon Baz team was some of the best Green Lantern stuff ever.

After HUSH 2 ends in September, Matt Fraction will take over writing Batman monthly. Jorge Jiminez will remain the artist. Fraction said each issue will be a complete story, the opposite of what DC has done in the past with 5-6 issue arcs.

Preview of the art:










Speaking of Hush 2, DC has released some images of Jim Lee's art for the upcoming series:

Really enjoying DC's Absolute line thus far


Absolute Batman and Wonder Woman in particular have been great. Supes is also very good.

Absolute Flash and surprisingly Absolute Martian Manhunter also both look excellent and I am excited to read.

Still "stuck" on old stuff.... developed a little addiction to buying books... a lot more on my bookshelf to get through before I return to catching up to present day stuff.

Cool about Matt Fraction... I think I read some of his stuff "back in the day" and enjoyed it... cool about the each issue being done in one. Paul Dini Batman did that too and it was great.

Yeah, it seems like every time a new writer gets ahold of the main Batbook they decide they have to "change Batman forever" in some way...will be so nice to not have that.

I think that's why I like Mark Waid's stuff a lot too, like his World's Finest. He isn't trying to "change everything forever' he just sets out to tell a good story about Batman and Supes and other DC characters.

Matt Fraction legit sounds like the name of a Batman villain. Team him up with Calendar Man.

Old comics:

Picked up volume 1 and 2 of Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning's "The Legion" (of Super-Heroes) for cheap and they were pretty great..... only thing is they never collected the rest of the run, and now I really want to read it.....
